March 9th marks one year since Columbia allowed ICE to begin kidnapping members of our community and began a series of concessions to the Trump administration in an effort to restore federal science funding. Bending the knee to Trump, Columbia expelled students, allowed the Board of Trustees to override Senate governance, locked the gates, expanded surveillance and investigations of campus and public speech, broadened the definition of antisemitism to include anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel, and squashed protest—especially protest critical of Israel.

No Wars - No Kings - No ICE March

No Wars - No Kings - No ICE March

From Columbia's campus to Venezuela to Minneapolis, authoritarian violence takes many forms, but serves the same purpose: protecting power at any cost.  The murder of Renee Nicole Good is a reminder that militarization always turns inward.  What starts as "security" ends in death, repression, and silence.   

If you are interested in joining a peaceful march to demand a free future, a group of Columbians will be meeting at 12:30pm SUNDAY Jan 11 in the northwest quadrant of Pulitzer Plaza (59th St. & 5th Ave., across the street from the Plaza hotel.)  The march begins at 1pm.  Wear your most comfortable walking shoes and bring a homemade sign!!!!
